Studio B Episode 17 - Rock It, Stronger - w/ guest Clayton Bellamy

Of course, everyone knows exercise is good for a person’s health; however did you know that consistent exercise and physical activity might actually help make you a better musician, performer and artist too? You always have to be at your best while you're on stage - mentally and physically. Physical fitness and good nutrition are a great way to accomplish that so you can ALWAYS put on ONE HELL OF A SHOW! Big or small! There's a lot to cover with our guest - we discuss ALL the benefits of how physical fitness and nutrition will make you the best artist and performer you can be, on (and off) the stage! We talk about how exercise improves you as an artist and performer, (Better Breathing/Improved Posture/Strengthened Muscles/Increased Coordination/Sharper Thinking/Inspired Music-Making/Improves Performance Anxiety), scheduling work outs and working around busy schedules and tours and keeping fit on the road. Nutritional planning and hydration, and optimizing your health for your performance and life by eating better. We also talk about body image and much more. Disclaimer: I'm NOT a personal trainer, doctor or nutritionist, neither is my guest, Alberta rocker Clayton Bellamy - but we are two music industry professionals who are passionate about fitness and health, and we've seen the benefits and want to pass on our wisdom to you, to better you - the artist! Disclaimer: before you do anything that will effect your health, please consult a professional - talk to a trainer, doctor, health expert, please. You're probably wondering why I didn't get a personal trainer/fitness expert for this. I wanted someone who has experienced the positive benefits of all of this from an active performer, who understands the artist aspect of this, who's been doing this for several years, who's busy, who's always on the road, who's in various projects, (which are The Road Hammers, Clayton Bellamy and the Congregation and Black Mountain Whiskey Rebellion, who's won many awards including a Juno, numerous Canadian Country Music Awards, SOCAN Songwriter of the Year, A Radio Music Award and Western Canadian Music Award, who has been featured in People Magazine, The NY Times,and Rolling Stone an who's released five solo records and has songs recorded by Big Sugar Matt Anderson, Dan Davidson Jason Blaine W3apons FKB Willie Mack and more HE'S STILL ON FIRE!) who understands the struggle is real - to juggle everything as a human AND artist, then trying to add being active and healthy on top of that - but he also understands how important this is for you. Also, HAVE YOU SEEN HIM ON STAGE? He's performance goals! Vocally and with his physicality! You hear his song "Resistorz" in the podcast and you can find him on all social media under Clayton Bellamy and @claytonbellamy.
